CrowGirl Building Dive

I was thinking of taking a break from effects, but than I remembered that I can shove effects everywhere, so, I was working on this shot, that belongs to an old idea that I had, of a character that I call crowgirl. did some sketches of her here -

this is a test for a camera movement I was thinking of.

As there are a lot of effects going on, I thought I will show part of then in focus. there is hair, flag, splash, airborne water, sparks and glitter effects, but since the effects are not really the issue, they are supposed to support the overall shot they are often missed. here is a part of those effects.

As CrowGirl hits the water -

By the way, I saw this awesome Behind The Scenes sequence of shot from MotorCity, I had to store it here...please notice that all the effects are classic animation. You Rock, Chris Prynoski. The Direction in non compromising  with extreme and wide angles, and so is the animation.

Recalling the Acadamy

While in Bezalel, I did some shorts that I was never proud of, because they were poor in quality (of animation, directing, etc...). well, I WAS a student. but still, as I find myself venturing more and more into script writing, I find that I am very fond of these ones.

The first one, JESUS, was a short I did on my own, it was an interview with Jesus and Gabriel. Talking, in retrospective, about Jesus and his tragic life course up to his death, and the cruelty of his REAL father. Unfortunately, no translation, so only Hebrew speaking viewers can understand this one.

The other one, I can only take credit for the animation (part of it), this idea was, as I recall, to take a common saying and paraphrase it. the script and idea belong to Ben Genislaw and Yonni Aroussi.

Things on my shelf

I was just thinking....some stuff I did just stayed there on the editing floor. Is there a better place to put them than right here? :-)

Bugs Splash

After being away for a while, I had some time to work on some water effects.
As each splash acts like a finger print, I think I'm gonna make a few of these, I guess with Bugs, he's a fun character to play with.

A Fetus Dream

I was asked by animation Director Neta Holtzer, to create a short clip that will give a visual of what a fetus might dream about in the womb. 

I thought about water and liquid, I thought about images of blossom, but wanted to remain in the environment in which the fetus grows in, a very limited one. I thought about the drug hallucinations in Enter The Void and about light and glow.

There is never enough time when it comes to classic animation and post, but I am pleased with the outcome.

This is to be a small part in a children's short film about dreams.

The 10 Suns

the short movie the 10 suns was a short I did while working at "TimeToKnow" Israel. wheb I was younger I used to do a lot of Chinese painting. while working at T2K, I had the change to create a short in that style. Oded Levi, my friend, directed it, and I created the art, animation and post. here it is. the 10 suns.
